The shareholders of Elliott Davis Decosimo and Crowell & Crowell have voted to combine their firms effective Jan. 1, 2016. Officials said the combination expands Elliott Davis Decosimo’s banking and financial services presence in Tennessee and gives Crowell & Crowell additional resources to adapt to their clients’ growing needs.
Just recently, Elliott Davis Decosimo announced a growing presence of the Banking and Financial Services practice in the Nashville and Knoxville markets with the relocation of two key members of the financial services team. This combination further expands the banking specialty area for both firms. Elliott Davis Decosimo currently serves more than 120 financial institutions across the Southeast, many of which are SEC registrants.
“This is a great opportunity to strengthen our banking advisory team in Tennessee and broaden our reach,” said Elliott Davis Decosimo Banking and Financial Services practice leader, Jason Caskey. “Crowell & Crowell is well-known and respected in the banking community and brings additional industry experience to our team.”
“Crowell & Crowell has had great success serving the banking and financial industry for the last 14 years,” said Shareholder June Crowell. “Combining with Elliott Davis Decosimo will allow us to broaden our services available to clients through new capabilities and added expertise. Our team is excited about the opportunity and we are getting a positive response from our clients who have already expressed an interest in expanding our services.”
